Madrid Friendly
Madrid Friendly is a housing project located in the San Borja district of Lima, Peru. It consists of a total of 19 apartments with an average floor space of 126 square meters.
The project was developed by Madrid Ingenieros, a local real estate development company with a focus on sustainable housing construction.
By incorporating modern construction technologies such as insulation of the roof and external walls, the use of energy-saving appliances such as LED lightbulbs and water-efficient plumbing features, the project was able to significantly reduce its energy and water consumption, resulting in a more sustainable construction project and a reduced carbon footprint.
Madrid Friendly has received Final EDGE Certification from Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI).
